Come check out our test results in this Velotric Summit 1 video review. We know your money is important and that's why we test our ebikes more than anyone else and share these results with you, so you can make the best decision for your money when it comes to your next ebike.
In the case of the Velotric Summit 1, we were pumped to see how it would perform, so we tested:
Speed: The top Speed and speeds and each pedal assist level.
Range: We ran the summit through 2 range test, one on minimum assist and one at maximum assist to see just how far you can go on a single charge.
Braking: We test the brakes of the Summit to see how long it takes to come to a complete stop from 20 MPH
Ride Quality: How does the Velotric Summit 1 ride and feel?
We cover it all and share the results with you!

Nice. I just ordered one after watching this review. I've been wanting one I can take on the road or trails that can take on hills without spending 3k+ .and I love the color.

Would be great if you did a comparison btwn this Summit and the Aventon Ramblas. About $1,000 more, expect the Ramblas is superior, but your perspective would be helpful.

Wow, fast to release this review! Only issue I see is the 8 speed small rear cassette. A big 10 speed would help up hillls, but not bad.

@FrankenRick Ай бұрын

I agree and addresses the concerns with the Velotric team but it’s really not that bad only on super punchy short climbs you might notice it

@chaxologist2961 Ай бұрын

You can easily upgrade it to a 10-11 casette as well as the shifter!

@@chaxologist2961naw, not quite that simple; a larger cassette would very likely require a new derailleur, too. In 8 speed, larger cassette options are not available, which means the owner needs to upgrade to at least a 9 speed, which also now means a new chain. So, can be done, but not that similarly or inexpensively.

How is it compared to the Ride1UP LMT’D V2?

@mikewestbrook1142 Ай бұрын

I'm surprised you didn't mention weight as something you'd like to see lowered. It's 65lbs? Seems portly for a MB. even an EMB. Also, watching the video it seemed like anything but nimble to ride, and even bone-jarring on the descent. That could have just been the conditions though. Great video and content. Thank you for sharing it!

@ElectricBikeReport Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! We definitely want it to be lighter, but for sub $2k with that size battery and a hub motor, the weight is more or less what we'd expect. It's a tradeoff of something entry-level.

@DD-xx8wh 2 ай бұрын

is there room for larger tires, especially the rear to maybe help with the extra hub weight ?

@FrankenRick Ай бұрын

Well the rear obviously can’t change out cause the motor in the wheel design but the front maybe, I’ll try throwing a 29er on mine tomorrow

Ever since the drop in sales of the commuter/urban ebike market, it seems every one of those 'commuter-only' ebike manufacturers are all jumping into the EMTB market. Let's see how long they last.

@gmsunshine Ай бұрын

How long the companies last? Or the trend toward eMTB?

@kevinnashskitchen3517 2 ай бұрын

I'm not at all interested in a workout on a bike. Just enjoy the outdoors and leisure. Or getting myself to work at 35-40 mph. We don't have bike or dirt bike trails within 100 miles. No bike paths or lanes. But I enjoy the reviews. Nice job all! Looks like it has some good top end but just shy of my 40 mph requirement.

@aceball7076 22 күн бұрын

I don't see any ebike doing 40 mph at the price range of this Velotric Summit 1.

29 inch wheels would have been better, the Altus derailleur can be had on $600 non-electric hybrid and mountain bikes. A kick stand prob not a good thing to have on single track. Full light setup overkill for trails. Hub motor with unwanted extra weight in rear. Seems like they didn't want to go full on trail bike so it's a weird mix of components that just makes a lot of compromises. The Aventon Ramblas though more expensive is at least a full on no excuses mountain bike for those who want or need electric assist.

@IHatePikeys Ай бұрын

Ummm … a hub motor means you can still ride home with assist if you break derailleur, or chain, unlike a useless mid drive motor…..You upgrade the wheels, fork and put a shimano zee derailleur and get back with me…
